Todd Bowles must be really lousy in his job interviews. He’s interviewed for several NFL and college jobs and hasn’t gotten them. The guy has been an interim NFL head coach and defensive coordinator. How can he lose out to an offensive line assistant?

The point is, and was, tat Temple should place premium on having a legacy come to be the HC rather tan sole dependence, expedience with a guy who will stay no longer than the guy who he will replace, since his loyalty is not there but to short term gain at the school’s expense. And Temple has made enough mistakes in returning to the Big East (witness current news in addition to Temple’s just completed season) and in hiring folks like Addazio who clearly did not fit Temple and was not going to stay.bTemple is not going to win in the Big East, so best to emphasize other values.

Further, Temple could have sent a powerful signal in hiring Bowles given that are so few African-Am head coaches, period (college or pro).
